When his Captain was Broke - He was transferred to fill up Companies under the command of Colonel Mobile. But this Affiant does not recollect the Name of the Captain to whom He was transferred as he was shortly after taken sick and removed to the Hospital where He remained about Six weeks. Nor does this Affiant state the Name of any other of his officers But Colonel Mobile. After this Affiant was discharged from the Hospital He was attached to Colonel Warwick a Colonel of Artillery as a Waiter to Colonel Warwick. And in this Capacity He was with Colonel Warwick from Williamsburg to the Eastern Shore of Virginia and from thence to Portsmouth near Norfolk and from thence again to Williamsburg where the Friends of his Enlistment Opening. His Affairs was discharged By Colonel Warwick When He this Affiant again enlisted for another Period of Three Years at Williamsburg in the Company of Lieutenant Brumf Captain Slaughter and Regiment of Colonel Mobile. And from thence He was marched to Guard some Military stores on James River above Richmond where we remained on duty for some time when the British appeared and forced us to retreat and we retreated to Gloucester Point where He from thence up James River to New London. After this again marched down James River and spent considerable time in collecting

The Military stores that have been procured and placed by The British who have blown up the Powder Magazine and destroyed The Foundry - At this time the last enlistment of this officer having expired - He is again enlisted - in a company in the Regiment under Colonel Dabney during the war. This officer cannot state the name of this officer under whom he served in the Regiment of Colonel Dabney with certainty But from a faint recollection he believes that Lieutenant Grump was promoted to a Captaincy in Colonel Dabney's Regiment and That it was in his company that the last service of this officer was performed - Shortly after enlisting at Goochland Colonel Dabney in Colonel Dabney's Regiment He was marching from there to Little York - where this officer was in active service during the whole siege until the surrender of Cornwallis From there He was marched to Redbank where He was discharged - This officer further states for the two first periods of his enlistment He served as a Private soldier - and a Quarter of Colonel Patrick. And that he was principally engaged in guarding the Military stores at Williamsburg and on James River Virginia - And that for the period of the last enlistment he also served as a Private soldier in active service against the common enemy - Which last service according to the present recollection of this officer was something less than a year than a year - This officer states further that while at Redbank after his discharge He received for his services a Land Warrant signed by Governor Henry of Virginia that he sold to one Francis Gross of Richmond for the sum of fifty dollars - This officer remained after Gross at Redbank where He was employed by John Savier and Abel Galt and went with them to Pennsylvania where he remained about two years - when He was employed upon a surveying tour upon the Potomac in Virginia where he was employed sometime - when he returned to Fayette (now) Pennsylvania where he resided about ten years And from there he emigrated to the county of Fayette and state of Ohio where he has resided the last thirty three years - This officer further states that He was about twenty five years of age at the time of his first enlistment

This Affiant states that he has lost all evidence of his said services. And that owing to his age and infirmity he can call to mind no other fact or circumstance in corroboration than of those as above stated. He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or an annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any state. This Affiant further states that he has twice before made an application to the Department for a pension. The first on the Twentieth day of December 1820. which said application was after some time returned to this affiant requiring proof that the service was on continental establishment. When the situation of this Affiant precluded him from pursuing his application. By reason of the alteration of the law Excluding those who were in a situation to support themselves from becoming a public charge. This affiant further states that on the Eighth day of September 1832. He renewed his application which was again after a long time returned to him because the period and length of his service was not stated with sufficient precision. This affiant begs leave further to state that perhaps some delay and confusion has arisen in his application from the facts and state of circumstances. This affiant is a native of France and emigrated to America when he was about and not more than Ten Years of age. For the fifteen years afterwards up to the period of his enlistment he lived in French families and not being then over 25 yrs of age could not read or write. He could scarcely speak any English at the time of his enlistment. And after his first enlistment at Fort Hampton Virginian His step gave this affiant the Nick name of Murphy. For what reason he cannot now state. But he well recollects that the Nick name of Murphy became indelibly attached to him. And he thinks it took its origin from some circumstance while in the service of Colonel Washington as aforesaid. Be that as it may this affiant well recollects that among the American soldiers he was better known by the name of Jo. Murphy than by his true name Joseph Frazier. This affiant well recollecting this circumstance truly believes that it is as likely that the

Two last Enlistments aforesaid were now evidenced upon the Roll of the Army By his Nick Name as Paddy his true Name This affiant Bega Learn to state one other circumstance in relation to which he may mistake in his statement aforesaid and the Reason of the doubt in his own mind And That is in Relation to the Name of the Captain under whom he made his first Enlistment - This affiant thinks his Name was Downtain - This affiant also thinks that the Name of the Captain of the ship with whom he crossed the Atlantic fifteen Years before his Enlistment was Laport - Now this affiant fears that it is possible that from the circumstance and the indistinctness of his memory that he may have made a mistake in this particular - In conclusion this affiant declares that he is solemnly impressed with the conviction that his services for the period aforesaid are evidenced upon the Rolls of the Department By the Name of Joseph Faruty or Jo Murphy upon the Muster Roll of Colonel Dabney, Regiment And also upon the Muster Roll Colonel Mobiles Regiment, And in the Returns of Colonel Warrick - of the Artillery  Sworn to and Subscribe to Joseph Faruty in due form this 27 th day of March November 1834
